I don't have a holy grail, but here are 2 of my guiding principles, that I will share with new forex trader. The forex is a structured market, not random (although there are times when PA is random). Its structure is based on 2 primary elements: 1. The forex is manipulated by central banks; and 2. The forex is "managed" by about 15 or so large banks (think of PA as a view of how banks collectively manage their book). These 2 things play our every day, and create an ongoing narrative that can help you understand why the market is doing what it is doing. I recommend looking at the 1H chart to witness this narrative, since that is the chart bankers use to enter and exit their trades.
